Read the full serving
The current manufacturer panel lists 60 calories,14 g total sugars and 12 g added sugars per 8 fl oz serving, with 100% daily value for vitamin C. It says the drink contains 5% juice. These figures describe Tangy Original, not every product using the SunnyD name. [1]
Fortification does not remove added sugar
A drink can provide vitamin C and still contribute added sugar. The inspected panel lists no meaningful fiber contribution and 0 g protein. Assess those details together rather than treating the vitamin claim as a replacement for the rest of the nutrition panel. [1][2]
Bottle size changes exposure
Imagine drinking 16 fl oz of the same formula. That is twice the 8 fl oz serving and provides 24 g added sugar using this label. It is a portion calculation, not a recommendation. Compare what you actually drink with the amount printed on the panel. [1][2]
| Label detail | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 100% DV vitamin C | A nutrient contribution |
| 5% juice | Not the same as 100% juice |
| Two servings | Twice the labeled added sugar |
